About Jane

Jane Francis is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and grief. Sessions focus on helping people understand what is making them feel a certain way and on practical steps they can try next.

Jane uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience central. She listens without judgement and lets people set the pace for conversations. This approach suits those who want time to make sense of feelings and to decide what matters most to them.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings shape close relationships and on mindfulness to help reduce overwhelming thoughts. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term goals and practical steps to try between sessions. Internal Family Systems ideas can help when people want to understand different parts of themselves that feel stuck or in conflict.

Jane has worked with people affected by abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, body image, and communication problems. She notes experience supporting those dealing with adoption and foster care, aging concerns, and codependency patterns. Her background includes work supporting people with ADHD and related life adjustments.

Sessions are offered in English and Jane is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). To begin, people are invited to use the site process to match and book a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client‑centred work focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. Online sessions can reproduce that by giving space for people to talk through feelings and decide next steps. Emotionally‑focused ideas help people notice and name core emotions that shape relationship patterns, which can be explored in conversation during video or phone meetings. Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices to calm the body and attention, and these exercises are easy to try during a session and practise afterwards.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what they have found helpful before deciding which methods to use. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than imposing a set method from the start.

The platform’s session formats should be confirmed before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. People often choose online sessions because they can fit an appointment into a busy day, reduce travel time, or use a shorter phone check‑in when needed. Discussing practical arrangements early makes it easier to pick the session length and rhythm that suits everyday life.
